Lõunakäblik, Troglodytes aedon musculus

Aedkäblik on väga levinud lind tervel Ameerika kontinendil, Costa Ricas elutseb alamliik lõunakäblik. Lind on väga sarnane Euroopa käblikuga, kuid on inimeste suhtes palju leplikum. Kuigi teda peaks justkui kohtama praktiliselt igal sammul ja igas ökosüsteemis, jäi aedkäblik meie kolmenädalase reisi jooksul kaamera ette vaid korra - Sarapiqui oru vihmametsa kõige alumistes, pimedates kihtides.

House wren is a very common species through the enitre American continent, in Costa Rica the subspecies Southern House Wren is found. It is very similar to our own (European) northern wren but is much more used to living near humans. Although it seems like you should see this bird with every step in every habitat, souther house wren found its way in front of my camera only once during our 3-week trip - in the lowest and darkest levels of the rainforest of Sarapiqui valley.
